Fake flowers from weddings - what do you do with them?

June 9, 2010 2:23am CST
I have about 4 bouquets of flowers - 3 of them are from when I was a bridesmaid (2 from the same wedding as 1 piece was for my hair) & the other bouquet was my mom's from when she married my dad. The bouquets normally sit in my display cabinet but the last time I moved, I never put them back in the cabinet & have left them in the box...What would you do with the flowers? I have held onto my mom's coz she passed away 3 years ago, the 2 from the same wedding was from my Aunt's wedding (the marriage didn't last long but it was my first time being a bridesmaid) & the other bouquet was from my pen pals wedding in New Zealand (I flew there from here in Australia).

There's so many things that you can do with fake flowers. Below I have made a list of things you can do with those fake flowers that you get. 1. burn them. fake flowers make an excellent fuel source, to keep you warm in the winter, or to get a grill started (cookout!) 2. cut the flowers off, and make a lay. you know the hawaii knecklace thingies. Aloha! 3. shred them up and stuff them into a pillow case. Ohhhh so comfy. 4. plant them in your yard. You never have to water them, and they don't die, so you can decorate your yard and never have to worry about them. Unless someone steals them from your yard. 5. sell them on ebay. You won't believe the stuff people will buy 6. give them to someone else, and let them figure it out.

Just rub a little oil under your eyes, and put a couple drops of sugar water right below your eyelids. and say "ohhhh why!!!! why!!!!!?????? I love these flowers, but they must go on to new things."

When my sister got married many moons ago my two girls carried fake flower bouquet. What I did was put them in a shadow box. Then you can display the shadow box by hanging it on the wall. I hope this helps you in someway.

That's actually not a bad idea...I may have to give that a go.

I have had them in my display cabinet in every house I've lived in until this house as there seems to be no room
